Storytelling Introduction

Step into a vintage lounge where the amber glow of whiskey meets the hush of leather chairs and jazz in the air. The Dandy by Penhaligon’s is a fragrance that channels that smoky, boozy elegance. It opens with raspberry and citrus brightness, settles into a bold whiskey heart over oak and cedar, and softens into woods, patchouli and a touch of clarity. A modern homage to indulgence and sophistication.
